Home services
Run the office from the truck.
The crew is under a sink, on a roof, or in a mechanical room, and the office line is still ringing at the shop.
The weekday
Three things land on the desk while the trucks are gone.
-
The shop line rings through.
Invoca, May 23, 2024 wrote that unanswered calls made up 27 percent of what home services businesses received, and that people who reached voicemail left a message less than 3 percent of the time. The truck does not hear that ring.
-
A homeowner sends a dark picture.
The water heater label, the panel, or the roof slope arrives on a phone that left with the crew. The address often shows up in a later text, after the estimator is already back at the shop.
-
The estimate leaves and goes quiet.
The number went out. Nobody checked whether the homeowner opened it, and nobody sent the short note the owner would have allowed. The next company that picks up gets the job.
What the caller sees
An email can go out before the truck is back.
We saw your call to the shop. Reply to this email with the address and a photo of the equipment, and the office will pick it up when the desk is free.
What we build
We start with the job that eats the most desk time.
-
Live, through Kyra
Missed-call rescue.
After a ring goes unanswered, an email leaves in wording the shop settled ahead of time. The morning list shows that thread. When the build includes Kyra, she can also answer the call while the crew is out.
-
Built when you order it
Speed to lead.
A form or a text about a repair gets an opening reply drawn from the trades and towns already printed on the website, so it is not sitting unread until someone finds an hour.
-
Packaged from a plumbing build
Photo quote intake.
Pictures of the unit, the street, and a few words about the problem land in one packet for the person who prices the work. That packet never invents a number. It started as a plumbing job and is being packaged for the other trades.
-
Built to order
Estimate follow-up.
An estimate that already went out gets the check-ins the office wrote, on the days they chose. The desk can tell which homeowners wrote back.
-
Built, not yet running for a customer
Job status updates.
When a job moves on the board the dispatcher already uses, the homeowner can get a line written ahead of time, such as on the way or finished. The person in the truck does not have to type it.
-
Built to order
Review requests.
Once the job is closed, the homeowner gets the Google ask the company already wrote, including the small jobs a busy desk would skip.
Your order
Your AI conversion system.
It starts before the phone rings: getting found keeps the shop's listing, reviews, and service-area pages right. When the crew is already dispatched, this desk's conversion system opens on missed-call rescue, continues with speed to lead for the form that arrived during the job, then photo quote intake so the unit photo and the street arrive together, then estimate follow-up for the number that went quiet, then appointment reminders before the booked arrival, then review requests after the job is closed, and ends on the weekly owner report for that shop.
Approval
Ordinary shop notes can leave. A price for this house cannot.
A callback the owner wrote in advance, and the nudge on an estimate the office already sent, can leave once our checks finish. Putting a dollar figure on this house, taking money off that figure, promising when a truck will arrive, widening what the visit includes, or stating a new fact about the company stays with the estimator or the owner until they release that note.
-
Leaves after the checks.
The email after a missed shop line, a note before a visit already booked on the board, and the review ask after the job is closed, each one only in wording the company settled before the week started.
-
Stays with the estimator.
The number for this particular house, an arrival window, and any discount. A rate already printed on the site can be repeated as that same rate. The price for a job nobody has looked at cannot.
The company
Crews on the tools, and a desk that stays with the phone.
-
Who it is for.
You run HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or roofing with more than one person on the tools and at least one person whose day is the phone, the board, or the estimates. The systems belong to that desk, so the crew can stay on the job.
-
Who it is not for.
If you drive the only truck and you return every call yourself between stops, this set assumes a desk you do not have. You can still name one repeated job on the Free Systems Plan. We will say if a smaller start is the right one.
What owners report
Customers expect a fast reply. Most shops in the survey do not send one.
-
What the survey asked.
Jobber 2026 Home Service Trends Report asked 1,050 home service business owners what their customers expect. The owners said a same-day answer is what over 70 percent of customers look for, and a reply inside the hour is what more than half of them look for.
-
What those shops actually do.
The same owners said 20 percent of businesses answer inside the hour. That gap is why the first note matters. We will not promise you their clock. Your own log is the time that counts.
-
What Monday can show.
Missed shop lines, photo files that arrived, estimates still open, and replies that waited for a person, gathered so the owner is not reconstructing the week from three phones.
Product or build
Kyra can cover the phone. The quote file is still a build.
Kyra answers the phone for shops that live on calls, including plumbing, HVAC, and electrical companies with a desk. When the posts are the job that slips, Postwire prepares the coming month and holds every draft until someone lets it publish.
-
Kyra.
Kyra answers calls and the chat on the site, and she books only a slot your connected calendar lists as free. A price for a job and a promise stay with your crew. We set her up inside the build.
-
A custom build.
When the photo file or the nudge on an open estimate is the actual mess, we build that around the way the office already works. Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan can stay. We connect to the board instead of replacing it.
Questions
Questions from plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and roofing owners.
Can the shop line be answered when the crew is on a job?
Yes, when the company already has crews and someone at a desk. Kyra can take the calls and the chat, and a missed ring can still get the callback you wrote. Anything that commits a truck or a price stays with the office. If you want a call center reading a script, or you are the only person in the truck, say that and we will tell you if we are the wrong company.
Will a visit land on the schedule by itself?
Kyra can place a visit on the calendar you connect, and only in a slot that calendar shows as open. She does not invent an arrival for a job she has not seen. A promised window stays with the person who runs the board.
What about an emergency after the shop closes?
The callback can name the night line you already use, and it can say what the office will do in the morning. It does not dispatch a truck and it does not name a clock time. Someone on your side still makes that decision.
Do we have to leave Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan?
No. The phone, the board, and the files you already use can stay. Photo files, status lines, and follow-ups connect to that setup, and the first job can run from the inbox the office already opens.
How does a homeowner send photos without a price in the reply?
They use a form that collects pictures of the unit, the street, the trade, and a few words about what they think is wrong. A roofing photo can ask for the slope. An electrical photo can ask for the panel label. The confirmation tells them the file arrived. It does not name a dollar amount.
Who lets a quote or a discount leave the shop?
The block above is the rule for this trade. A callback or a nudge written ahead of time can leave after the checks. The price for this house, an arrival window, and a discount wait for the estimator or the owner.
The trade
Tell us which job is costing the crew the most this week.
It might be the phone, the photos, or the estimates that are still open. We name the first system for that job and leave the others until you ask for them.
